As if that’s not cool enough, these critters can anticipate the direction in which a tasty morsel of prey will flee and have their jaws positioned and open at just the right moment . . . snap! (I seem to recall some other specie that has that talent; must have been a couple of years ago that I read a description of another aquatic predator that could do so. Just can’t recall just now.)

Looking at those tentacles, Ogvorbis, positioned as they are in the snakes field of view, they just might be able to navigate the InnerTubes. Even if not, turning magazine pages doesn’t seem out of the question.

I wonder if PZed is ever surprised at where we, the Commentariat, take some of his posts? I mean, here he is, giving us a photo of an incredibly cute cephalopod (I just had to add that to Chrome’s spellcheck dictionary), and we end up making jokes about cute snakes.
